The old dates were supposedly set in stone so why
the change (in dates) :wacko: ....not replying will not be acceptable....just FYI.....
sand stone, ,,,, trying to get enuf rooms for 500 or more is a tough task, gotta give the guys working this a break, dont want 10 different hotels / 10 miles apart. Also might have to get something like a ballroom/ wedding room for the festivities! they probably wont save a block of rooms or floors for the evening revelries.
I think their ( hotel) plans are " keep them seperated" so the partys dont get out of hand, done this with weddings. they wont keep everyone together (cept the main bridal group same floor).
Just my thoughts,,, the earlier the better , the summer vacation folks will croud the hotels latter half of july thru september. hotels dont care who's paying, they'll be full. making the same money.
I dont know the organizers, but have been thru this at weddings (for 200 ppl. not 500 or better) I feel for them, its a tough task. hotels will cancel.
Just me backin the boys up, been there , trying to save 50 rooms for wedding, that was a big task.
